Happy Christmas!

My "cold" is still lingering at two-and-a-half weeks, so I think it was covid too (there was a negative test, but...). However, it's mostly gone, so I too am enjoying Christmas.

Ugh, two and a half weeks? That's more than enough! Hope it stayed away and didn't impinge on your jollity.

Hey, my yearly reminder that Livejournal still exists!

Bananas make perfectly adequate tree ornaments, at least for a few days; The Dark Is Rising is excellent, but you might want to pretend Over Sea, Under Stone never happened; I got Covid too and while it sucked it didn't suck much more than a normal cold, which is great, although I didn't get my planned Bleak Christmas Holiday on Arran; and I finished the first draft of my latest book. Which is nice.

Mine too, if I'm honest :)

Sorry to hear your annual bleakmas was interrupted by Covid. Are you still in the UK, and are you going to be around for any amount of time?

Was the latest book another NaNoWriMo? I'd love to read it when it's reached the public-facing stage. The last one was great :)

Came back to the UK for my first proper family Christmas for years. I'm currently in the north west of Scotland where everything is dank and miserable and it's raining all the time. It's great. (I will add that I only travelled after I recovered from Covid...)

Book is three years' worth of nanowrimos plus some more time for fixing. If my alpha readers like it and say that it, you know, makes sense I would actually like to try getting this one published, so I may want to pick your brains about agents at some point... but yeah, I'd love to get some feedback once it's ready.

I'm afraid my brain is broadly useless to you as I do not have an agent, and have not tried to acquire one. Always happy to chat about stuff or offer feedback, though!
